I really don't think this is correct. The US and China are at odds geopolitically, they have conflicting interests. Why would they join forces?
Same with Russia, at odds geopolitically - in constant proxy wars across the world.
And yet.. President Krasnov has repeatedly praised president Putin, given him favourable deals (abandoning the Kurds, pausing sanctions around Ukraine, removing sanctions imposed post-Crimea annexation, holding off on using very powerful financial sanctions available to directly squeeze Russia's plutocrats and Putin).
Not sure your theory that a country being at odds geopolitically means shit when Trump is president and the Republicans in the house and senate largely enable/encourage him.
I know it may seem like it, but the entire US is not completely at the whims of Trump. His orders require all sorts of buy-in. He needs to keep generals, police commissioners, mayors, senators, judges etc. at least somewhat aligned with him, at least enough not to actively push back against him.
I know it seems painful and difficult to believe, but the ruling class (billionaires, oil tycoons, aerospace companies, etc.) in the United States are firmly in favor of the US invasion of Venezuela. Trump would not be allowed to remain in power if he acted against the interests of the ruling class.
The United States is not a democracy. It has a year-round circus in the forms of elections, and keeps bread affordable enough, for now.
